Before you read the text think about how much meat you eat daily or during a weak.
So you definitely found out that if you aren't a strickt Vegan or Vegetarian you eat meat nearly every day. And everybody knows that meat doesn't grow at trees.
Often if i tell about my Hunting experiences, people say how unfair am i and why i did this to the animals (during they eat a chicken burger). In the first moment I can understand them but they only hear “killing animal” and creat there opinion without asking about the background. Hunting isn’t only shooting at Animals and having fun its much more. The Animals I Hunt can life there life in Freedom till I shot them if you eat a Hamburger this Cow never ever saw sunlights or could change where it will go. Often People think Zebras are Rare but in Afrika there are much Zebras as Cows in Germany and there are all Free. So I thing anybody who eat meet isn’t allowed to say hunting is that bad. Honestly its much more animal friendly to hunt than go to Mc Donalds.

In the Summer Holidays Im going to visit my Family in Afrika. Im really excited because its my second time that I went there. Namibia is is really different to Germany. Its a developly country and compared to the other African country's more or less rich. If I went there the first time I thought that everybody is Black and speck a ununderstandable Language. But it wasn't. Namibia was a German Colony and during the second world war many German Farmers went there so the most people which occupy someone are White and speak German too. The Animals are really different to. There aren’t Cows or Horses, they have Zebras and Orexs. And you can hound them. They taste really nice. But there are dark sides to. The most native are Alcoholics. They work for the rich white people and earn only 100 Dollars a Month. The criminality is really high and as a white boy without knowledge and a Gun you better stay at home especially in the night. But its a great experience the stay there during vacation.

Hunting is an effective way of controlling the populations of certain game animals that no longer have other predators. It also procures a very healthy meat source in a way that is environmentally appropriate and not unnaturally cruel. It is important, however, to have proper training and preparation to keep yourself and others safe as you hunt.

Reference solunar tables to find the times that game are most active in your area.

Related skills, like how to butcher deer or other animals you hunt, are also valuable when hunting.

Article Summary

Before you hunt, get a local license if it's required, and make sure you have outerwear in "hunter's orange," which makes you visible to other hunters. Then, move as quietly as possible when you go into the hunting area, so you don't spook the game. You should use binoculars to scan for game, then pay attention when you find a target to ensure it's the game you're hunting. Once you're certain of your target and feel like you have a good, clean shot, then take it. Just be prepared to track and finish off the animal humanely if you don't end up with a clean kill.

I thing everybody should alowed to carry a Gun after a Background Check from his Psyche and Criminality. I think that Guncontrolle only take the Guns from Guys which use it to safe the law. Opponents will say that if everybody can get a gun the criminality will rise and more Crimes will be done. But i say that if you realy want a gun to Murder or Rob someone you can get one it doesn’t care weather Guns are legal or not. If you surch in the Darknet for example you easely can buy one and nobody know it. But if you have to register the gun and you kill someone they know that the Gun is yours. Except of that if more People have a gun more People which safe the law from Criminals wear a Gun. If for example at the Las Vegas shooting someone had a Gun (not the security guard) He maybe had stopt the Terrorist.

The most people spend there holidays in Australia or at places near the oceans where they could swim. But swimming in many areas isn’t often  harmless. Because there are sharks. So you find at each corner shop devices to protect yourself from sharks. But not all devices are helpful. This scientist discribe how such devices works, how it will jamm a shark and wich areas from sharks it would attac.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In mid-January this year, during the heat of the Australian summer, shark scientist Charlie Huveneers set off towards the Neptune Islands, near the mouth of South Australia's Spencer Gulf. Here, about 250km (156 miles) south-west of Adelaide, is one of the Australia's largest aggregations of great white sharks, and also the centre of the nation's cage-diving tourism industry, which brings in around AUS$8m (£4.5m).

Over 18 days, Huveneers - who heads the Southern Shark Ecology Group at Adelaide's Flinders University - tested a series of commercially available shark deterrent devices to determine their effectiveness in repelling the ocean's most feared predator. Over many long days at sea, his team observed sharks from its boat and with cameras below the waves. During 300 trials, they studied sharks approaching potential prey some 1,500 times.

The work they are doing to test repellents is vital. Shark attacks are increasing in Australia, and more of these devices are being sold than ever before, but very few models have been independently tested to match manufacturers' claims.

"Personal shark repellent or deterrent devices are the 'holy grail' of shark bite prevention, but the efficacy of some of the most popular products is questionable, and most have never been subjected to scientifically rigorous independent testing," says Carl Meyer, a shark ecologist at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology in the US.

These devices can be beneficial, as long as people understand their level of effectiveness and how much they actually reduce the risk of attacks, Huveneers says. He warns that some devices "might create a false sense of security and lead people to put themselves in riskier situations".

While shark attack fatalities in Australia have remained fairly constant, at an average of around one a year, the number of bites per year doubled when researchers compared the period between 2000 to 2015 with 1990-2000. Specific clusters of attacks have led to public outcries for the authorities to do more. In Western Australia (WA), 15 fatalities since 2000 led the state government last year to offer a controversial AUS$200 (£112) rebate towards purchasing a AUS$750 (£421) electrical repellent - the Shark Shield FREEDOM7. In November, they put another AUS$200,000 (£112,000) towards this scheme.

But do these devices actually work? Huveneers says he supports the WA government for selecting one of the only repellents independently tested by scientists. As reported in the journal in 2016, he was part of a team including University of Western Australia scientists, that tested it in South Africa. By attaching the electrodes to baits in waters abundant with white sharks, they showed the FREEDOM7 repelled them 90% of the time, but was only effective to about 1m out from the device.

The Shark Shield takes advantage of the fact that sharks have sensory organs around their snouts called ampullae of Lorenzini, which enable them to detect prey via the weak electric fields they emit. But an artificial electrical field can be used to overwhelm the organs, causing the shark discomfort. This is what a Shark Shield does, by generating a field between two electrodes on an antenna. The charge is produced by a unit worn on the swimmer's ankle, with the antenna and electrodes trailing behind.

It is one of several repellent devices that use an electric field. And while there are other approaches, Meyer agrees that electrical repellents have the greatest potential.

"Sharks have a highly sensitive electroreceptive system that may produce an avoidance reaction if over-stimulated by a man-made electric field," he says. "Widely-spaced dipoles can effectively shroud your entire body in an electric field." However, a problem with many existing products is that the field covers little more than a diameter of 1m, meaning it can't protect the whole body.

The repellents recently tested at the Neptune Islands included several untested electrical devices, magnetic deterrents, and a kind of surfboard wax meant to mask the smell of the surfer with natural products such as clove oil and cayenne pepper.

The idea behind magnetic deterrents - such as wristbands containing strong magnets produced by a company called Sharkbanz - is that they work in a similar way to the Shark Shield, creating a field that overwhelms a shark's ampullae of Lorenzini.

While the theory is sound, a magnetic field becomes very weak even just a few centimetres from the device, says Meyer. "A shark might, or might not, avoid eating your wrist-worn device, but the rest of your body is certainly unprotected."

Other approaches have been to develop devices that produce the sounds of hunting killer whales (a predator of sharks), or wetsuits and surfboards with camouflage that mimics the banded patterns of venomous and unappealing prey, such as sea snakes.

Some research suggests that auditory repellents are ineffective, or sharks quickly get used to them.

"Shark hearing is optimal at low frequencies and poor-to-non-existent at the higher frequencies typical of orca calls," says Meyer. Meanwhile, research in Queensland has revealed that sea snakes are in fact very commonly found in the stomachs of tiger sharks, so perhaps not so unappetising.

Huveneers adds that surfers and surfboards, seen by sharks cruising along the sea bottom, may merely appear as dark silhouettes at the surface, so colours and patterns are often irrelevant.

Chemical repellents have also been created and trialled over the years, with one currently marketed product being an aerosol spray called Anti-Shark 100, made by Shark Tec, which says it is "derived from putrefied shark".

There is some evidence that sharks steer clear of the 'necromone' chemicals produced by other decomposing sharks, Huveneers says. "The reason for sharks to be deterred by this smell is unknown, but from an evolutionary perspective, it makes sense to leave an area where a conspecific [same specis] has recently died, as it might indicate danger."

Still, while many chemicals are irritating or unpleasant to sharks, they dissipate rapidly into the water column, he says, limiting their effectiveness.

"You'd have to see the shark coming and then release this aerosol into the water, and a lot of sharks prefer sneak attacks," says Blake Chapman, a shark researcher at the University of Queensland and author of Shark Attacks: Myths, Misunderstandings and Human Fear. "So, having a device where you have to see the shark first, and then release some sort of cue that it doesn't like and leave... I can't imagine that it's going to buy you a lot of time."

Chapman argues that no repellent device can ever be entirely effective. "I wouldn't put my life in the hands of any of these devices," she says. "It comes down to a shark's motivation. If you have a 3m to 5m great white, bull or tiger shark that's starving, I can almost guarantee that nothing we've discovered, and probably nothing we will discover for some time, will deter that shark."

She also questions whether it's likely that a large shark will abort an attack, a metre out from a prey item, once it has committed to swimming at high speed towards it.

Huveneers admits that repellents are unlikely to stop highly motivated sharks, but says the South African trials showed that sharks are highly manoeuvrable and can and will abort attacks at very short distances from potential prey.

He does, however, note that people need to be aware that repellent devices are often only effective in specific locations, for specific activities. Therefore, a device that may show some use for repelling white sharks from attacking surfers off the coast of Cape Town might be completely ineffective at protecting scuba divers from lurking bull sharks in Sydney Harbour.

"I see the refinement of electrical-current based devices as the best bet for effective personal shark repellents, but I don't see any device ever being 100% effective," agrees Meyer.

Chapman says that in the future current technologies may evolve into more effective means of stopping investigative bites, but argues that the most effective tool is education. "People taking time to understand these animals and the situation will alleviate so many more events than any technology could... Just be smart about where you swim," she says.

Research is, for example, uncovering clues on shark movement patterns that might reveal what times of the day and year are best for reducing the risks associated with various activities in the sea.

Despite the increase in shark incidents in WA in recent years, some estimates suggest the chance of being bitten by a shark off Perth is still only about one in 30 million. To put that into perspective, you're about 100 times more likely to be struck by lightning.

Nevertheless, Chapman says that if shark repellent devices allow people to feel comfortable entering the water, then it's already a great outcome. "These things may or may not work, but the chances of being bitten is so small, that if it's giving you peace of mind to go out there and do your activity then it's doing its job."

In the last few years, biologists have been mapping the neurons within an area in the brain that regulates thirst, said Yuki Oka, a professor at Caltech and senior author of the new paper, which was published Wednesday in Nature. Cells in this region had been observed going quiet after an animal had water, but it was not clear exactly why.

A graduate student in Dr. Oka's laboratory, Vineet Augustine, did a series of experiments with mice that had been genetically modified to make tracing the connections between their neurons easier. In these experiments, when a neuron caused another neuron to turn off, it got tagged, leaving a trail of bread crumbs through the brain.

What Mr. Augustine found was that certain neurons in a region called the median preoptic nucleus were responsible for telling other cells in the thirst center that drinking was occurring. Further experiments showed that mice without functioning versions of these neurons drank twice as much as normal mice. In the opposite scenario, when the cells were artificially activated, even dehydrated mice did not experience thirst.

Intriguingly, what these cells are responding to is not the presence of water itself, Mr. Augustine said. The researchers discovered that letting a mouse take big gulps of water would spur the neurons into action. But giving it water in a gel form, which had to be chewed before it could be swallowed, did not. Neither did providing water in tiny, two-second-long sips, even when the animals consumed the same total amount of water. In fact, giving the mice oil to drink had just the same effect on the neurons as gulping water.

"That indicated to us that it's probably the speed - the speed of this ingestion - to which these neurons are responding," Mr. Augustine said.

Apparently, a series of quick swallows is an evolutionarily acceptable shorthand for drinking water - reliable enough for the body to use it as a way to signal when enough has been consumed.

Aside from the specter of water intoxication, there are good reasons to drink only the minimum amount necessary. When an animal lowers its head to drink, Dr. Oka speculated, it's in quite a vulnerable position. "If you double the time of ingestion, that should double the risk of being prey," he said.

The researchers are now hoping to investigate other ways the body monitors water intake. For instance, they want to see whether there are sensors in the gut that keep the brain apprised of the arrival of water. It seems likely, Mr. Augustine said, that the brain gets some notice, and adjusts accordingly.

This article was most recently revised and updated by

Bloods, street gang based in Los Angeles that is involved in drugs, theft, and murder, among other criminal activities. The predominately African American gang is traditionally associated with the color red. It is nationally known for its rivalry with the Crips.

The gang was formed in the early 1970s as the Crips spread throughout Los Angeles. Various gangs-notably those around Piru Street-refused to join the Crips and instead banded together for protection. Within this loose alliance, many of the gangs remained independent, and infighting was not uncommon. However, they were united in their opposition to the Crips. They eventually took the name Bloods and adopted the color red to distinguish from the Crips' blue. Members of the Bloods also embraced other unique identifiers, including various hand signs and physical markings, notably a "dog paw" tattoo or brand-three circles often made from the heated barrel of a gun-that is sometimes called Triple Os.

During the 1970s, the Bloods began to expand throughout Los Angeles, though their numbers were significantly less than those of the Crips. This contributed to the Bloods becoming particularly aggressive in their recruitment, and they developed a reputation for violence. Like their rivals, the Bloods began to focus on drugs with the rise of crack cocaine in the 1980s. The shift helped the gang spread beyond California. In the early 1990s the East Coast Bloods (also called the United Blood Nation) was established by prison inmates at Rikers Island, New York, and it became a significant presence, especially in New York City, where they outnumbered Crips. By the early 21st century, there were upwards of 20,000 people affiliated with the Bloods across the country.

The Bloods intense rivalry with the Crips was well documented in popular culture. The 1988 film Colors notably focused on the two gangs, and subsequent movies as well as books and songs chronicle the rivalry.

The process of obtaining a gun can sometimes be difficult and confusing, but with the right information, one can pass through the process with very little difficulty.

Gun control laws in America are a relatively recent development, with the earliest important examples, aside from the 2nd Amendment, all coming from the 20th century. Most gun control laws, however, are based on state policies, as opposed to federal laws, and therefore vary from state to state.

The difficulty of obtaining a gun license arose as a way to ensure that only responsible citizens were buying guns, officially, and most federal gun laws revolve around keeping guns out of the hands of citizens who should not have them. Read this article for a bit of background information on the rules of importance for guns and gun owners in America, and for a summary of the important acts.

While the process of obtaining a gun license involves any number of steps, one of the elements that is mandated by federal law, as opposed to state law, is a background check. Nowadays, these background checks are performed quickly and easily with the help of an FBI database. The background checks are non-intrusive, and are aimed solely at determining whether or not you are prohibited from purchasing guns under federal law because you fall into one of many categories.

Background checks are also important for those seeking to obtain a federal firearms license, which would permit selling and working with firearms, as opposed to simply owning them. Read here for a more in-depth discussion of the nature of background checks in the purchase of firearms, and how they came to be.

Most guns cannot be carried concealed, but many states have restrictive laws placed upon the sale and purchase of handguns specifically because they are concealable. Sometimes, these restrictions are focused upon carrying the handgun, and other times, they are focused upon the act of purchasing a handgun.

Regardless, determining the rules of handguns and handgun carry permits in your state will be important if you have any plans to purchase a handgun. Read this article for more information on the nature of concealed carry permits.

Some states require would-be gun owners to fulfill a firearms safety course in order to obtain their license. This is especially true in the case of concealed carry permits, as they carry with them a greater inherent danger.

Such training courses, however, even when not required, are very advisable for the would-be gun owner, as they ensure that he or she has all the necessary information on liability issues, on safety, and even on care and maintenance of the gun. Learn more about these safety courses within this article.
Fingerprinting, Payment, and License Issuance
Obtaining a gun license according to your state's laws can be an easy, quick process, but it can also involve any number of secondary requirements. Sometimes, you'll have to pay a fee for the license. Sometimes, you'll have to be fingerprinted by your local law enforcement agency, as a precaution.

Regardless, it always makes sense to find out what these procedures are and go through each and every one before buying your firearm. Having your firearms license before you purchase the gun is a very good policy, so visiting your local law enforcement agency to find out exactly what you have to do to make that happen is a good idea. Read this article for some more information and tips on how to complete the requirements for your gun license.

This article originally appeared on VICE Canada.
The Canadian government unrolled the Cannabis Act Thursday and said that its priorities are keeping the public safe by restricting access of weed to youth and making a dent in organized crime. But the Liberal government's long-anticipated plan for legalizing cannabis focused heavily on criminality, while being scant on details about how weed will be produced and sold.

In summary, the Liberals have set a federal legal age limit for purchasing pot at 18, though provinces can alter that as they see fit. Possession of 30 grams of cannabis will be legal, edibles will be legal with restrictions, and Canadians will be permitted to grow four plants per residence. Producers must be licensed with the federal government, but the retail model as to how weed is sold will be left up to the provinces.

In the meantime, there are new proposed laws and changes to laws that could yield serious consequences.

Selling to a minor under the age of 18 or using a minor to commit a cannabis-related offense could land you in jail for up to 14 years for an indictable (more serious) offense. The minimum penalty is a $15,000 CAD fine and/or 18 months in prison for a summary offense. By comparison, establishments who sell liquor to minors in British Columbia are subject to $7,500-$10,000 CAD in fines or a brief suspension.

Possession of more than 30 grams of dried flower; knowingly possessing weed that comes from outside the legal system; possessing a flowering plant into a public place is punishable by up to five years in jail for an indictable offense or a $5,000 CAD fine and/or six months in jail for a summary conviction.

Possessing more than four harvesting plants could result in 14 years of jail time for a summary conviction or a $5,000 fine and/or six months in jail for a summary conviction; possessing more than four non-flowering plants is punishable by up to five years in jail for an indictable offense or a $5,000 fine and/or six months in jail for a summary conviction.

Selling cannabis without a license could land you up to 14 years in jail for an indictable offense or a $5,000 fine and/or six months in jail for a summary conviction.

In addition, the government is aggressively tackling the issue of stoned driving.

Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould told reporters the new regulations will make Canada's impaired driving laws among the toughest in the world.

This will include the use of "roadside oral fluid drug screeners," which police officers will be equipped with. Cops will be allowed to demand saliva samples from anyone they suspect has consumed drugs.

If a cop has "reasonable grounds" to think a crime has been committed they could then demand a drug evaluation (by another officer trained to execute them) or a blood sample.

The laws will include THC limits, not unlike blood-alcohol limits, though officials said Thursday that it's difficult to determine how much THC has to be consumed for a person to be impaired.

Penalties for driving violations are as follows:

Having between two to five nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood within two hours of driving would be punishable by a $1,000 CAD fine.

Having five or more nanograms per milliliter of blood within two hours of driving could be considered a summary or indictable offense, punishable by a fine of $1,000 on the lower end to a maximum of ten years in jail for repeat offenders.

Having booze and THC in your system would also be a hybrid offense (indictable or summary) and would again be punishable by a fine of $1,000 on the lower end to a maximum of ten years in jail for repeat offenders.

The government expects the provinces to begin working on how to roll out legalization with the goal of enacting the new laws by the end of next June.

Anyone knows it’s a all women nightmare and noones  want to come in such a situation if you are at the Busstop in the evening it’s dark an suddenly someone want to Robb your Bag. No one is next to you to help you you are on your one. Here are some helpful tactics about how to Defence yourself becouse nothing is worth more then your health and life.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Would you be able to defend yourself and your loved ones if someone were to physically attack you? It's a question most of us don't want to consider, but violence is, unfortunately, a fact of life. Thankfully, regardless of strength, size, or previous training, anyone can learn several effective self-defense techniques. Here's how to prepare for and stay safe in common real-world violent situations.

Prevention Is the Best Self-Defense

First, remember that prevention is the best self-defense. Attackers, whatever their objectives, are looking for unsuspecting, vulnerable targets. So be sure to follow general safety tips like being aware of your surroundings, only walking and parking in well-lit areas, keeping your keys in hand as you approach your door or car, varying your route and times of travel, and other personal security precautions.

Apart from avoiding confrontation, if you can defuse a situation (talk someone down from physically assaulting you) or get away-by handing over your wallet/purse or whatever they want, do that. Hand over your money rather than fight. Nothing you own is worth more than your life or health.

If violence is unavoidable, however, to really defend yourself, you'll want to know ahead of time how to fight back effectively-it's possible even against someone bigger or stronger than you. Here are some basic self-defense techniques that can keep you safe:

Get Loud and Push Back

As soon as the attacker touches you or it's clear that escape isn't possible, shout loudly ("BACK OFF!") and push back at him or her (for simplicity's sake we're going to use "him" for the rest of the article, although your opponent could be female). This does two things: it signals for help and it lets the attacker know you're not an easy target. The video at left from Rob Redenbach, a former trainer of Nelson Mandela's bodyguards, shows why this is the first thing you need to do. It may not dissuade all attackers, but getting loud will warn off those that were looking for easy prey.

The Most Effective Body Parts to Hit

When you're in a confrontation, you only have a few seconds and a few moves to try before the fight may be decided. Before an attacker has gained full control of you, you must do everything you can-conserving as much energy as possible-to inflict injury so you can get away. (This is no time to be civil. In a physical confrontation that calls for self-defense, it's hurt or be hurt.) So aim for the parts of the body where you can do the most damage easily: the eyes, nose, ears, neck, groin, knee, and legs.

Su Ericksen, who writes the very helpful Self-Defense for Women website, offers techniques for striking these pressure points so you can defend yourself and get to safety. She writes:

Depending on the position of the attacker and how close he is will determine where you will strike and with what part of your body you will employ. Do not step in closer, say, to strike his nose with your hand, when you can reach his knee with a kick.

When striking a target on the upper half of the body you will use your hand. Effective strikes can be made with the outer edge of your hand in a knife hand position, a palm strike or knuckle blow for softer targets or a tightly curled fist.

Here are some photos Su offers on attacking these highly sensitive pressure points (you can view others for additional pressure points on her website):

Eyes: Gouging, poking, or scratching the attacker's eyes with your fingers or knuckles would be effective, as you can imagine. Besides causing a lot of pain, this should also make your escape easier by at least temporarily interfering with his vision.

Nose: If the attacker is close in front of you, use the heel of your palm to strike up under his nose; throw the whole weight of your body into the move to cause the most pain and force him to loosen his grip on you. If he's behind you, you can strike his nose (from the side or front) with your elbow. Either way, aim for the nasal bones.

Neck: The side of the neck is a bigger target, where both the carotid artery and jugular vein are located. You could possibly temporarily stun your attacker with a knife hand strike (all fingers held straight and tightly together, with thumb tucked and slightly bent at the knuckle) at the side of the neck. (For even more injury, you could thrust your elbow into your assailant's throat while pitching the weight of your body forward. See the Target Focus Training video below.)

Knee: Su says the knee is an ideal self-defense target, vulnerable from every angle and easily kicked without risk of your foot being grabbed. Kick the side of the knee to cause injury or partially incapacitate your attacker. Kicking the front of the knee may cause more injury but is less likely to result in imbalance.

How to Maximize Damage

Use your elbows, knees, and head. Those are the parts of the body that are most sensitive when hit. Now here are the parts of the body used most effectively for inflicting damage: your elbows, knees, and head (they're your body's bony built-in weapons). This video from Elite Defense Systems in IL explains how to defend yourself against three most common attacks by using these key body parts.

Use everyday objects. Everyday objects you carry around with you or things in your environment can also be used to your advantage as weapons. Hold a key or pen between your middle and ring finger while you're walking home in the dark for more assurance. Outdoors, you can toss some dirt or sand into your attacker's eyes. Women are often told to spray perfume or hairspray into an assailant's eyes. The point is, use what ever you can to make your defense stronger (for more inspiration, watch some Jackie Chan movies).

Leverage your weight. No matter your size, weight, or strength in relation to your opponent, you can defend yourself by strategically using your body and the simple law of physics. This is the principle behind martial arts systems like Jujitsu and other self-defense programs where a smaller person is able to defeat a larger one.

Tim Larkin teaches in his Target Focus Training self-defense system that striking is not about punching or kicking, it's about throwing your body weight strategically at someone. You don't want to be standing there trading punches or kicks with an attacker; in a violent situation, it's critical to injure him using efficient, targeted moves. Basically, target those pressure points mentioned above, but leverage your weight to cause the most damage. (Note: The video at left is a bit long, though all of it is insightful; if you want to skip to the demonstration part showing how to use your body weight in this "point of injury" technique, scrub to about the 4-minute mark. Also note that this technique, used by law enforcement agencies, can seriously injure the attacker.)

Moves for Getting Out of or Defending Against Common Holds or Attacks

Wrist Hold: Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is another school of self-defense, one that offers modified Jujitsu techniques that normal (or even weak) people can carry out. This video from Gracie Academy shows what to do when an attacker has grabbed your wrist. Instead of pulling back to try to get out of the hold, squat down into a strong stance, then lean forward and bend your elbow towards him all the way towards his forearm until he can no longer hold onto your wrist.

Front and Back Choke Holds: Similarly, this video from Ford Models suggests bending your elbow in to get out of the wrist hold, but then pushing upwards to break free. The video also offers techniques to get out of a front choke hold and a back choke hold: Swing one arm across to break the attacker's hold then use your other arm's elbow or hand in a knife strike position to hit the attacker.

Bear Hug: Krav Maga is the official hand-to-hand self-defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces, with techniques to defend against realistic grabs and holds. This video shows a Krav Maga defense for when someone holds you from behind: Drop your weight and try to hit his head with your elbows or stomp his feet with your feet. If that doesn't work, pull his fingers back to force him to release you, rotate out of his hold, and attack him with your knees/kicks. (Pulling fingers is also an effective move in a choke hold in some cases.)

Mount Position: If the attacker has you pinned on the floor, you can pivot to be on top with this Gracie Jiu-Jitsu technique. Hook onto his wrist with one hand and use your other hand to grab behind his elbow, trapping his arm to your chest. Then use your foot to trap his foot and leg, lift your hips and turn over onto your knees to get on top.

Sexual Assault: In my interview with Rener Gracie, whose grandfather established the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu method 90 years ago, he told me there are four phases to nearly all sexual attacks on women: 1) Identify an unsuspecting target, 2) Subdue the target, 3) Exhaust the target, and 4) Execute the sexual assault. We want to fight with all our might and the moves we have above in the second phase. In the third phase, however, right before an assailant executes his sexual attack, all he wants to do is exhaust the victim and gain complete control, so fighting back actually may backfire at that point, wasting energy. Gracie's Women Empowered training program teaches women to recognize when they've entered that phase where they are truly trapped and are no longer in the defensive movements phase-and to feign giving in. Pretend to be compliant (kind of like playing dead for a bear). In those split moments, the predator will think you have given up and will loosen his grip, giving you a chance get away.

These are just a sampling of the kinds of self-defense moves and techniques that might protect you one day or at least help you feel safer and more confident. There's no replacement, however, for taking a self-defense class and practicing the moves in real life.

To find a good self-defense program, the National Coalition Against Sexual Assault offers these Guidelines for Choosing a Self-Defense Course.
